I'm running a Star Trek adventures campaign. I've been running and playing Trek since FASA's three blue book set, and I think of all the various systems I've played/run, Modiphius's really gets closest to a "Star Trek episode simulator", as one of my players said. My only real complaint with the system is that starship combat drags a bit; it feels like there's less room for improvisation and tactics than in personal combat, so it comes down to rolling dice, and the only dice that make a huge difference are weapons dice.

Splicer posted:Are there any good module adventures for STA? Due to the players involved I'm ideally looking for something firmly set in the TNG era requiring no knowledge of DS9 etc. IMO both of the Modiphius books of adventures are pretty solid (of course, each has 1 or 2 modules that aren't as good as the rest, as well as 1 or 2 that are far better than the others). Each module is written for one of the three eras (TNG/TOS/Enterprise) but conversion is simple and suggestions are given in a sidebar. I'd recommend volume 2 over volume 1. People also post their homegrown adventures ( of varying quality of course) to the /r/startrekadventures subreddit and to continuingmissionsta.com

I keep it posted openly on tabletop. It adds to the tension about using threat (STA GM here) -- when I've got tons of threat, they're hesitant about adding to the total, but when I'm low they don't mind using points here and there. e: and when I screw them over badly they know it's "their fault" for letting the threat pool build up so high

CitizenKeen posted:Are there any good resources/hubs for fan material for 2d20? Especially Star Trek but any. https://continuingmissionsta.com/ is good for Trek. Also, the Modiphius product manager (I think that's who he is) hangs out in the subreddit, or at least he used to -- haven't been there in a while

Finster Dexter posted:He felt like it wasn't too crunchy, and it wasn't about rolling huge dice pools or sorting through skills or whatever. I really like this aspect of the system. Every other Trek RPG system I've played has had a long list of skills to sort through, and STA better models the "get up from Ops and man Tactical" that we see in TNG and later Treks, plus no "OK, science officer, what's your Planetary Science (meteorological [precipitation])" skill checks.

If anyone is interested, Mors Rattus is reviewing/describing Modiphius’s Infinity 2D20 RPG in the Fatal & Friends thread. This link should be the first post in the thread, but I’m on mobile so hopefully it’ll work right. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3898332&perpage=40&noseen=1&userid=126443&pagenumber=24#post520232509

Leperflesh posted:One thing that a number of RPG publishers have figured out over the year is that spending money on editing does not result in increased sales. Spending money on art and licensing does. (If there are fewer "pg. xx"s and/or incorrect references today, I'm willing to bet the sole reason is better word processing and typesetting software, not a pound more spent on copy editing.)
